Children’s Choir
The Children’s Choir, under the direction of Gail Southern, is open to all children from second grade through sixth grade. The choir usually sings on the third Sunday of each month, from September to May, in one of the traditional services, as well as for some special services. Rehearsals are on Sunday mornings from 9:00 – 9:30 am in the choir room. Children may simply show up for rehearsal to join the choir!
For more information, contact Gail Southern.
got bells!
got bells! is St. John's youth and family handbell ensemble. Composed of youth (roughly 5th grade and older) and any family members who are interested, the group plays several times a year in traditional (8:15 and 11 a.m.) Sunday worship and in some "special" worship services (such as Christmas Eve, Holy Week, Advent and Spring combined services). We usually rehearse on Tuesday evenings at 5:45 p.m., prior to Confirmation class. Music-reading is helpful but not required. All youth (whether members of St. John's or not!) are welcome; if you're interested and younger than 5th grade, or for more information about the ensemble, please contact Louisa Rettew at 410-666-1992.
Handbell Choir
The Handbell Choir at St. John’s (we’re haven’t come up with a more exciting name!) currently plays four octaves of handbells and three octaves of handchimes at an intermediate level. We can always use interested people as substitutes, as replacements, and, if feasible, to expand our choir. We rehearse on Monday evenings, starting at 7:45 P.M., generally from the beginning of September until June. By and large, we play once a month at the 8:15 and 11 A.M. services, as well as for special occasions like Christmas Eve and the combined services. Occasionally, some ringers may add to the worship experience by accompanying the Jubilee Singers, playing hymns or preludes, or as a smaller ensemble. With sufficient interest, we might be able to start a “beginning” level choir, for children and/or adults.
For further information contact Louisa Rettew.
Jubilee Singers
The Jubilee Singers of St. John’s, under the direction of Mike Chambers, is open to singers from senior high age through adulthood. This choir sings at one of the traditional worship services (8:15/11:00) most Sundays from September through June, as well as most special services. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings at 7:30 pm in the Choir Room.
We’re always looking for new voices to add to the choir and would love to reserve a space for you in the choir alcove on Sunday mornings!
